Flow Routing in InfoSWMM and Innovyze SWMM Products

Flow Routing Flow routing within a conduit link in InfoSWMM H 2 OMap SWMM InfoSWMM SA  is governed by the conservation of mass and momentum equations for gradually varied, unsteady flow (i.e., the Saint Venant flow equations). The    InfoSWMM H 2 OMap SWMM InfoSWMM SA  user has a choice on the level of sophistication used to solve these equations: Steady Flow Routing Kinematic Wave Routing  Dynamic Wave Routing Steady Flow Routing Steady Flow routing represents the simplest type of routing possible (actually no routing) by assuming that within each computational time step flow is uniform and steady. Thus it simply translates inflow hydrographs at the upstream end of the conduit to the downstream end, with no delay or change in shape. The Manning equation is used to relate flow rate to flow area (or depth). This type of routing cannot account for channel storage, backwater effects, entrance/exit losses, flow reversal or pressurized flow. It can only be used with dendritic conv

#LID Defaults from the EPA SWC

#LID Defaults from the EPA SWC The following defaults are from the EPA Stormwater Calculator https://www.epa.gov/water-research/national-stormwater-calculator A few of these parameters such as the capture ratio are not parameters in InfoSWMM Sustain There are some additional points to keep in mind when applying LID controls to a site: 1.      The area devoted to   Disconnection ,   Rain Gardens , and   Infiltration Basins   is assumed to come from the site’s collective amount of pervious land cover while the area occupied by   Green Roofs ,   Street Planters   and   Porous Pavement   comes from the site’s store of impervious area. 2.        Underdrains (slotted pipes placed in the gravel beds of   Street Planter   and   Porous Pavement   areas to prevent the unit from flooding) are not provided for. However since underdrains are typically oversized and placed at the top of the unit’s gravel bed, the effect on the amount of excess runoff flow bypassed by the unit is the same whe

SWMMLive Manager in Innovyze #SWMM5 Products

SWMMLive Manager The InfoSWMM SA   SWMMLive   Manager is the single utility in InfoSWMM SA to manage all interactions between InfoSWMM SA models and   SWMMLive   model data exchange.  It exports the active InfoSWMM SA scenario as the baseline model to SWMMLive.  It allows extension of selected InfoSWMM SA scenarios as additional supporting model data to SWMMLive for scenario switching.  It also accepts an exported   SWMMLive   model for detailed diagnosis run in InfoSWMM SA, supported with all the familiar InfoSWMM SA utilities. InfoSWMM SA   SWMMLive   Manager is accessed from the   AddOn Extension Manager   via its toolbar button or from the Tools menu (Tools -> AddOn Extension Manager). The InfoSWMM SA SWMMLive Manager User Interface is shown below. The InfoSWMM SA SWMMLive Manager main dialog box has three tabs: Export Model to SWMMLive, Extend Scenario Data to SWMMLive, and Diagnose SWMMLive Model.  All model exchanges between InfoSWMM SA and SWMMLive are made thr
